So the incoming freshman of the 16th Knesset had their orientation yesterday. Mitzna was a no show. Omri Sharon showed up late. I happened to catch the English news on Channel one yesterday evening and saw Gila Gamliel interviewed. She could barely put a sentence together in English. It was pathetic. A shocking fact about [...]

Likud – 33 As predicted in the polls the Likud party will once again regain their strength and become the [...]
Just heard on Israel Radio that voter turnout is at an all time low. Only 10.2 percent voted thus far – this is the lowest in the history of Israel. Interesting to see how this plays out.
Imshin breaks it down. I wish she would elaborate on the radical politics of the leader of the Green Leaf party. I haven’t heard he is a radical, but I have heard he is stupid. A friend of mine heard him speak at Hebrew University. He couldn’t even remember the names of the people on [...]
Blogging has resumed. I finally got around to picking up my gas mask yesterday. It was uneventful to say the least. I haven’t purchased any plastic or tape to seal any of the rooms in our house yet. Most new buildings have a bomb shelter and sealed rooms already built in but we aren’t in [...]
